CTA tells progress at Fullerton station

January 25, 2008

RED LINE — Northbound Red Line trains will once again stop on the west side of the Fullerton Avenue platform starting Friday, the CTA said.

While that inner track has been closed for the last 10 months for construction, northbound Red Line trains shared the track east of the platform with Brown Line and Purple Line/Evanston Express trains.

The change does not affect the number of trains operating or the passenger capacity on the three lines.

The platform was rebuilt and lengthened and tracks were reconfigured.

Northbound Red Line trains will continue to share tracks with Brown and Purple Line trains at the Belmont station as work continues until next month, the CTA said.

Future work will involve temporarily closing one of the two southbound tracks at the Belmont and Fullerton stops.
